Food & Drink Festivals in Suffolk this Autumn

When a county has an abundance of superb food and drink producers, it is likely to have a lively programme of events to celebrate them too. There is no shortage of food and drink festivals in Suffolk and below we have picked out some for you to visit this autumn.

Newmarket Open Weekend

Described as 'a traditional food and drink fayre with a truly modern offering' there will be top chefs, cooking demonstrations and many food producers from across the region will be offering their mouthwatering merchandise for sale. Wine expert Oz Clarke will be there, along with food writer Sophie Grigson and celebrity chef Theo Randall.

Aldeburgh Food & Drink Festival

Based at the beautiful Snape Maltings on the River Alde, there will be over 90 food and drink producers from Suffolk and plenty of tastings, cookery demonstrations, workshops and children's activities.

Don't miss the new exhibition area on 'Wild Suffolk' with camp fire cooking, a food writers' corner, and a host of 'wild wizards' creating delicious concoctions and sharing their knowledge.

The Framlingham Sausage Festival

Pop along to The Framlingham Sausage Festival on Sunday 8th October to celebrate the great British banger. There will be a range of sizzling sausages for visitors to try and buy, with plenty of entertainment for the whole family too – stalls, workshops and children's activities.
